I ran the newly recommended 5w40 and wasn't really happy with the oil pressure numbers I was seeing - though it never changed or deviated. I'm also aware the display of oil pressure is based on an algorithm, not an actual figure. I thought I'd try Rotella T6 15w40 this go round, since I live in...

Thanks TC ... turns out the problem I described and symptoms were something a fellow Youtuber went through several times in his 10+ years of ownership. I ended up replacing the right-rear bag in less than 45 minutes and road tested it picking up 400 pounds of topsoil for my folks. Looks like I'm...

Update : This morning was fine, although by the time I got to work, it didn't want to air up. I left it in the current normal setting and headed into the shop. About 8 hours later, I was on the bump-stop on the right rear again. Fired it up, set it to O/R 1, heard some sounds, mostly the...

You'll probably have to get AlfaOBD and turn off the features in the computer so it stops nagging you about it. I thought about doing this as well, but in all honesty, I kind-of like the bouncy-castle, and I found a source for replacement air-springs for a little over a hundred and some change.

So.. as this topic seems to be stirring up a debate, I'll drop a few figures here as I've been toying with this idea of "black diesel" for quite a while now. About 20 years ago or so, I owned a 79 Mercedes 300D ... made the same year I was born. My tailpipe always smelled like fried fish, or...

What I thought I'd do is detail every little symptom just in case any of you have experienced or even "felt" this with your air ride. I replied in the "Right rear" thread, but I thought I'd build on it with a more specific set of issues. I'm working with a 2016 Lone Star, "air ride is nice ...

Question, what line did you install the can in between? I'm considering doing this on the PCV side of the system since my tune already closed off the EGR.

I just began having this same issue - if it's a leak, it's REALLY random and not consistent. Yesterday, naturally on the day I had to haul paving stones and some top soil, it decided to "take a leak" ... this morning, I've been running errands, with no issues whatsoever. The system also seems to...

This may seem outrageous to the layman, but I've seen people with older rigs running 12-valves, and IDI's change their oil, and use what they drained as fuel. Seems crazy, but also, it seems to work for those. I know our fuel systems are really sensitive, and our fuel filters down down to as...

I recently changed out my bumpers (my rear one had a hole of rust in the corner after only 7 years in Texas!) and decided to tackle the job of transferring over my parking assist sensors today. After reaming out the holes in the new bumper with a step bit, I ended up having to lengthen the...

I too, took John's experience into consideration before buying my tune. My experience was quite a bit different, but then again, I believe the timing played a factor in my tune as well. I purchased my SFT tune about two or so weeks ago - this was after my truck had all of its recall work done...

I'm considering laying out the dough for one of those Autel scanners, but I'm not sure if it's going to do what I want ... maybe I'll just need to go the AlfaOBD route. Question I have is, have any of you found a way to modify the speed thresholds for the Off-road 1 and 2 settings? While I...

I had something similar happen a little over a year ago. I literally told them "I have no power to the pump, I can't hear it" - they tried to sell me $15,000 dollars in an entire new fuel system. My warranty wouldn't cover it either because they claimed "contamination" - I allowed them to change...

Banks makes an aftermarket modified "off-road or racing" only version called the 630T - as near as I can tell, it addresses a lot of the problems that plague our Pasta-diesels. Technically a Cummins 6BT will fit, since it's essentially the same chassis, but you're going to need a lot of...

If it hasn't been suggested yet - Banks 630T

Maverick81181 has the exact same thread a few messages down. Check what I wrote in there and start there.

My truck went in 1 year ago for what I specifically told them "I have no power to the pump." They replaced both pumps , the filter housing/heater, and the TIPM ... none of those were the problem - a bit of wire between the TIPM to the fuel pump was my problem, but I paid the $5,800 anyway...

Gee... that sounds eerily similar to what happened to me last year. So.. how much did they take you for? It was $5,800 for me. They gave me the same song and dance about metal and contamination and whatever else they could make up. Turns out my problem was EXACTLY what I told them the day I...

Apologies if this seems like a thread necro - but this code popped up for me last night out of the blue. I scanned it, it came up, I scratched my head and cleared it. It didn't come up at all today for both trips I made, but I suspect I'm still in closed-loop mode right now. Here's the strange...

Ok, tried those Lasfit ones that worked fine in my retro T-bird... they don't work on the Ram. The white parking light will work, but instantly throw a code when the turn signal is switched on. Then the amber will blip once or twice then stop working. Pretty strange - I guess our rigs are really...
